Episode #140 of the Mike Wise Show is the final presentation of this podcast that began almost three years ago. We revisit some of our favorite guests (Jamal Crawford, David Stern. Jeanie Buss, Marc Lasry, & Mark Cuban) and reflect on the journey of creating 140 different shows. Mike is joined by his producer and sidekick Bruce Bernstein as they discuss what made all of these guests so special and share some final thoughts as the Mike Wise Show calls it "a wrap" ... for now.

Greg Anthony of Turner Sports is one of the top NBA analysts in the media. Greg won an NCAA Championship at UNLV in 1990 and played 11 seasons in the NBA. He also has a son playing in the league: Cole Anthony of the Orlando Magic, currently in his 2nd NBA season. Greg and Mike examine his relationship with Cole, Cole's mindset, and other great topics like LeBron James' battle with "Father Time" and the Lakers chances of winning another title. Perhaps the most compelling conversation surrounds Kyrie Irving and his banishment from the team because he is not vaccinated against COVID-19. Greg's take is one you may not have heard before, but it is incredibly thoughtful. Greg also explains the greatest challenge our society faces right now and it has nothing to do with sports.

This week on the Mike Wise Show, Mike and producer Bruce Bernstein are required to discuss the Aaron Rodgers vaccination kerfuffle, especially after Mike went on CNN to sound off on the Packers QB. But fear not, there's plenty of hoop in this show with a discussion of LeBron James' abdominal strain and whether it could be an injury related to his age. Khris Middleton is Mike's favorite player and Bruce explains why he thinks Middleton would have been an ideal San Antonio Spur back in the day. We also discuss the recent allegations against the Suns owner and the Blazers GM for reportedly presiding over toxic work environments . Finally, we discuss Mexico City's G-League team "The Capitanes." You will be entertained.

Scottie Pippen has a new book coming out and he is holding nothing back. Mike Wise and Bruce Bernstein discuss Scottie's feelings on Michael Jordan and his Bulls experience. The Washington Wizards have become the "Lakers of the East" with the addition of Kyle Kuzma, Montrezl Harrell, & Kentavious Caldwell Pope in the Russell Westbrook trade. Bruce shares his thoughts on why the Celtics have stumbled out of the gate, and the guys wax poetic on Stephen Curry, who keeps improving at the age of 33 and is leading the Warriors back into contention after two tough seasons. All of that plus Mike's experiences now that he and his family moved to Mexico.
